My hottest take: if we must continue to make shows with Empress Elisabeth, I want a long series in the style and spirit of The Crown about Franz Joseph.

I think freeing Sisi from being a girlboss critic-of-monarchy main character would actually be much better.

#historian consumes media #netflix would never give me a budget #but i have ideas #i think a lot of sisi media suffers from making her the voice of criticism for the monarchy because shes the main character #but something like the crown managed to communicate that 'this institution breaks people' through its structure #and Franz Joseph tends to have to be a romantic lead in Sisi driven shows #whereas i think spending time establishing him as a complicated person who embadies the monarchy would help
